Got into Graduate School

[APhi Sailorgirl]

Hey all,
Just found out recently that I got into Graduate School at Emerson College in Boston. I will be doing a Master's in Integrated Marketing Communication.

I would have posted sooner, but last week was Spring Break and I was a total vegetable!

I hope to volunteer with some of the collegiate chapters there and alum stuff of course!

I love the city and am sooo excited to now go to school there!

Congratulations on your success!

Laura,it looks like your Boston alumnae cup is overflowing.

I just gave up the reins to the alum chapter, but I'm still involved because I'm nosy and the new president is a little overwhelmed. I am sure that a collegiate chapter can use your help. Any chance you are good with finances? Bentley needs a finance advisor real bad. And Tufts needs tons of advisors. I think I heard MIT is looking for a recruitment advisor again.

As for the alum chapter, there are positions open, so if you'd like one, you can have one! The group is mostly young, very few people older than 27 go to much. We have lots of happy hours and things like that, and the Chi Phi alum group is interested in some events, so if you're single, that might be fun! When are you moving up here? We have a calendar only through May right now, but I can add you to the yahoo group we have. Send me a PM with your email address. And you can check out bostonphis.com, although I think my husband will be taking it down for a few days while we someone get rid of whatever hosting company we are using. But we update that semi-regularly.

Congrats btw! You must be really excited. Where exactly is Emerson? I just moved up here about a year ago, I'm still learning about the non-Alpha Phi colleges.

Congratulations, APhi Sailorgirl! I've heard great things about Emerson. It's downtown, close to Downtown Crossing and Park Street.

Wow, thanks for all the congrats!

Laura, thanks for all the help with advisor info, it's still all so new and exciting, but I'm hoping to help out if I can.

As for housing, I have no idea. I do know they have housing info sessions/meet other people in your boat beginning in June. Most leases start Sept. 1 since classes start the 13th. Positive note, I've always summered in Nantasket Beach about an hour outside the city and this summer my dad and his brothers are finally buying a house. Hopefully they'll have one by the end of the month and I can work up there and look for an apt.

It would be great to do some alum stuff, since it's a big city and i will need some a-phi love!

Emerson is located on Boylston Street right on the Commons. The campus actually has buildings kinda all over, but the main stuff is on Boylston. A good walk to Filene's from the admission office, but my mom and I had no problem doing it when i was there for an open house!
